Do something for you each day.

Learn to be cheerful & optimistic, by doing these things:

• Count your blessings.
• Learn the power of laughter.
• Enjoy beautiful music & literature.
• Look for beauty everywhere you go. Look for it in nature, in art & in the faces of loved ones.
• Strive to improve yourself everyday.
• Look for the good in everything.
• Walk a mile in your shoes… literally.

Do something for you each day. You will thank yourself for it sooner than you expect.

My website isn’t finished yet (because writing content is not my favorite thing to do), however… I am ready to work on YOURS! Are you? I’ll be posting some of my previous work very soon. Just so you will know that I really do know what I’m doing Contact me if you’re interested in having any graphic design work done.

I need your feedback, folks. Like a junkie needs a fix….  I had never, ever intended to broach this subject here, but now I have no choice. It’s something that has become part of my life, it’s a dominating force right now, and while I know how I feel, and what I’m willing to stand for and stand up for, I’m really curious to know….

Are interracial relationships really still as taboo as they once were? What about where you live, how do people react to interracial couples/families? Is it just the small town mindset where I live (in the deep south, no less)?

Do these pictures bother you, in any way? If so, why? Really. I want to know. I’m not looking to debate anything, I just want to know what is going on outside of the crazyness that is surrounding my life right now, how it is in the rest of the world.

Do you know anyone in an interracial relationship? Are you in one? What have you (or the couple you know) had to deal with? Does it ever end? How do/did families react?

I’m desperate here people, please. Comment. (Just to clarify, I’m not looking for acceptance, nor am I looking for validation – I am trying to understand why it’s still such an issue, and if it’s prevalent nationwide.)

P.S. – since it is Thankful Thursday and it’s been about a year since I’ve done one, I’m going to tell you today that, despite all of the horrible things that have been said to me and about me lately because of the person I’ve chosen to date, I’m so very thankful for him.
